  • Those with Full Blood Counts and Liver Function test results outside of the normal range
  • Pre-menopausal women due to the potential influence of cyclical changes in reproductive hormones on insulin sensitivity
  • Current smokers, or reported giving up smoking within the last 6 months
  • History of substance abuse or alcoholism
  • Reported history of CVD, diabetes (or fasting glucose ≥ 7.1 mmol/L), cancer, kidney, liver or bowel disease, gastrointestinal disorder or use of drug likely to alter gastrointestinal function
  • Unwilling to restrict consumption of specified high polyphenol foods for 24 h before the study
  • Weight loss >3kg in preceding 2 months and body mass index <18 or >35 kg/m²
  • Blood pressure ≥160/100 mmHg
  • Total cholesterol ≥ 7.5 mmol/L; fasting triacylglycerol concentrations ≥ 5.0 mmol/L
  • Medications that may interfere with the study such as alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (e.g. acarbose), insulin-sensitising drugs (e.g. metformin, thiazolidinediones), sulfonylureas, and lipid-lowering drugs. Other medications, should be reviewed by medical representative from KCL on a case by case basis.
  • Nutritional supplements that may interfere with the study such as higher dose vitamins/minerals (>200% RNI), B vitamins, Vitamin C, calcium, copper, chromium, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Subjects already taking vitamin or minerals at a dose around 100 % or less up to 200% of the RNI, or evening primrose/algal/fish oil supplements will be asked to maintain habitual intake patterns, ensuring that they take them every day and not sporadically. They will be advised not to stop taking supplements or start taking new supplements during the course of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Polyphenol-enriched fruit-based drink - low and Polyphenol-enriched fruit-based drink - high in people with Healthy Men and Women, run by King's College London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Metabolic health (time frame: Postprandial response (2hrs)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Sep 2019.
